When it comes to forehead ornaments, many people's first reaction is Zi Xuan in Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man 3, so let's take Tang Yan as a typical example to analyze the role of forehead ornaments.
There are various shapes of Tang Yan's forehead ornaments in the play, but after careful observation, it can be found that her forehead ornaments in this play are basically large areas, not the small areas in some plays:
The reason for this design, let's look at two photos of Tang Yan without bangs:
Tang Yan's five officials are exquisite, but the fly in the ointment is the proportion of her forehead, so she always shows people with bangs:
Compared with bangs, forehead decoration is more exquisite and smart for face and facial features, which can effectively highlight eyebrows and eyes, focus the visual center on the upper half of the face, and greatly weaken the proportion problem.
But to do a good job in forehead decoration modeling, we should also pay attention to the relationship between forehead decoration and the proportion of actors.
For example, it is also a forehead shape. In Xuanyuanjian, Tang Yan's forehead is too small and his hairline is stiff, which is far from the effect in Xianjian 3, but a little old:
The forehead shape of the second child in "Fairy Sword" 3 is somewhat empty. Although it is far beyond the modeling in Xuanyuanjian, it is still not as good as the third part.
Yang Mi, who has similar troubles with Tang Yan, has also used forehead ornaments in many costume dramas, the most successful of which is Yao Xi in Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man 3.
Yao Xi's modeling is full of fairy tales, and her delicate eyebrows are lowered, which focuses the audience's eyes on her smart eyes, magnifies the advantages of the five senses and weakens the shortcomings of the lower half of her face:
Frontal ornaments can not only save the forehead, but also be very friendly to actresses with good forehead proportion under reasonable design, especially when they meet such a wayward "master of shaving" as Zhang Shuping:
Because Liu Shishi's facial proportion is relatively correct, the difference may not be obvious only by looking at the picture, but in fact, the original hairline of Liu Shishi is like this:
Let's take a look at Liu Shishi, who is also blue but has a forehead.
Under the normal hairline decoration, with simple blue forehead decoration, it adds a bit of mystery to Liu Shishi, and forehead decoration has also become a plus item.
After roughly describing the function of forehead decoration with the example of Fairy Sword and Three Flowers, we will review the classic forehead decoration modeling through screenshots to deepen our understanding of the face and facial features decorated by forehead decoration.
Strawberries can be roughly divided into eight categories:
The conventional forehead decoration style is to drop tassels or jewels between eyebrows, and Gillian's style is the simplest:
A little more complicated is to increase the number of pendants:
Or set some brightly colored jewels:
A very classic forehead decoration style in costume drama is to decorate the hairline and forehead with braided hair, such as the following:
The third kind of forehead decoration is decorated with furry artificial hair:
But these shapes are mostly in the form of hats, such as the shape of Bai Bing in mythology:
In many ancient costume styles, female characters often use tassel pendants as foreheads.
For example, Chen Hong's modeling in Da Gong Ming Ci:
Hu Jing also has many such images in Men Yang's Iliad:
The shape of the float is mostly used for older women, and Xifeng used it many times in the 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions.
There are jewels:
With steps:
Besides wiping her forehead, Xifeng also has many exquisite forehead ornaments:
Some martial arts dramas also prefer to scratch their foreheads:
In the past, many costume dramas liked to use colorful hollowed-out ornaments as foreheads, mostly for actresses with regular foreheads, mainly for beauty.
Plastic pearls that have been vomited by many people are also the true love of early stylists.
Here are some things:
On the other hand:
As for the plastic pearls on it, we are talking about the side forehead. In fact, in addition to Tang Ning in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, there are many side foreheads in costume dramas.
This kind of jewelry is mainly for beauty, and is suitable for female stars whose foreheads are not wide.
For example, Xiao Wei played by Zhou Xun in The Painted Skin:
Yi Nengjing, who is very popular recently, also used many similar shapes in the positive Hou Qing Palace:
There are some smaller ornaments:
In addition to the side decoration, in order not to cover the forehead too much, you can use the method of reducing the forehead decoration.
For example, Zhao played only added a small pendant:
In Lonely World, Ann's forehead is also very small:
Because Zhao's forehead is not high, her forehead shape is also relatively high:
Or simply drop a bead like Chen Xiuli to reduce distraction and avoid redundancy:
Zhao Min in the two editions of "Eternal Dragon Slayer" covers most of the above forehead decoration types, which can be said to be a "forehead decoration madman".
Let's look at a few typical examples:
Appropriate forehead decoration can be icing on the cake, while redundant forehead decoration is "adding fuel to the fire".
For example, adding a very wide trowel on Vivian's forehead, a very common proportion, instantly makes her five big and three thick, just like when we were young, we deliberately left long bangs to block the line of sight, which is very annoying:
Sun Xiaoxiao's forehead is not wide, and it is unnecessary to tie three braids, which is also very troublesome:
There are also some foreheads that deviate from its central word "exquisite".
For example, Deng Chao's version of Xiao Zhao is like sticking a few golden cakes on his forehead:
Daisies are like the ears of swallows, without any sense of beauty;
The opposite of exquisiteness is too complicated.
For example, the two shapes of Yin Tao in Yang Guifei have the same forehead decoration. Because there are too many elements on the left, it is like putting a pillar on your head, which makes the forehead decoration very redundant, while the refreshing shape on the right highlights the existence of forehead decoration:
In addition to the above three kinds, there are some strawberries that I really don't know how to classify, and I can't understand the stylist's thoughts at all.
For example, beautiful snow usually has a red hand on its head:
Or I don't know what kind of clothes I am wearing:
Even put the mop directly on your head:
Disfigured. To cover the wound, so it's so big?
@ Stylist, long snacks.
The sharing of the shape of the forehead ends here. In the next issue of strawberries, we should review the exquisite floral shapes in costume dramas ~
